However, minutes after going on sale the in-demand shows appeared to be sold out, with tickets appearing on secondary reselling websites with the original £50 ticket prices jumping to prices as high as £200.

Fans have taken to Twitter and Instagram in their droves to express their anger and disappointment about failing to get their hands on the tickets.

One user wrote: "Gutted! Not paying £150 for a ticket."
